{quote} {file} This one is an EA (just ex4) which I downloaded from http://fx-builder.com/useful_things.html but it keeps coming with an expiry error, asking for an updated version, and I guess it's not been updated on their site {file} This one is a script which dumps loads of info in a file but does not work anymore on mt4 latest builds. Guess the unnecessary info can be removed leaving few necessary info & if possible, made into an EA so the info can be displayed on chart. Thanks

{quote} OK, I've compiled most of what you need into a Script that will output on the Experts Tab. Not an EA to display on Chart as yet as that requires quite a bit more work. Also, commission is an order function and I haven't included any of those, just MarketInfo and AccountInfo. Let me know how you get on and I can modify. Be aware that Trade Mode said Real but I was using it on Demo so that was weird - might be my broker ...... {file}

{quote} Hey man. I appreciate the work. I was to use the EA in a slightly unorthodox way, similar to the breakout strategy. The problem is my broker has a set distance below which I can't place orders. How can I modify the EA so that it optimizes order entry as close to this limit as possible? For example, say the broker limit is 3 pips and the Euro opens at 1.0900. I'd like to place orders 2 pips away from this open at 1.0898 and at 1.0902+spread. My goal is to have the EA modify the orders as price wiggles around up/down so that they end up as...

{quote} If you use Pointsaway=0, then the EA will use the Minimum Distance of your Broker. Modification only happens between SecBPO and SecBMO seconds. You also need Pointsgap to be set to 0. If you want the orders to be modified after an Open for a further 60 seconds or so set the 'News Time' to be 1 minute past and SecBPO=60, SecBMO=0. Hope that helps

Hi Alan111S, Really amazing coding work you have done on this "Amazing EA". Want to ask you a huge favor.

In layman terms I would like the ea to place pending sell stop according to all other setting if say the 20 period ma is moving up or pending buy stops when the moving average is going down. The check on the ma only need being done on the last two bar closes. Also no other trades to be taken if a trade...
